Fans can follow a mock-selection exercise for the Division I Women’s Basketball Championship on the NCAA Double-A Zone Thursday and Friday.

The mock-selection committee will feature 17 current head coaches and two administrators from the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association.

Those scheduled to participate are:

  • Geno Auriemma, Connecticut
  • Melanie Balcomb, Vanderbilt
  • Joanne Boyle, California
  • Doug Bruno, DePaul
  • Sherri Coale, Oklahoma
  • Brian Giorgis, Marist
  • Gail Goestenkors, Texas
  • Shann Hart, IUPUI
  • Sylvia Hatchell, North Carolina
  • Rick Insell, Middle Tennessee State
  • Wendy Larry, Old Dominion
  • Felisha Legette-Jack, Indiana
  • Joanne P. McCallie, Duke
  • Curt Miller, Bowling Green
  • Jeff Mittie, TCU
  • Jennifer Rizzotti, Hartford
  • Audra Smith, Alabama-Birmingham
  • WBCA Chief Executive Officer Beth Bass
  • WBCA consultant Betty Jaynes

The mock-selection committee will have access to all the tools (“nitty-gritty” reports, game results, RPI calculations) and will follow the same principles and procedures the actual committee follows when it assembles the championship bracket.

The exercise will give participants a taste of the nearly week-long process the Division I Women’s Basketball Committee goes through annually.
